A couple of my carees are seeing private therapists, the NHS either just refuses or the waiting lists are so long and they need help now.
One has PTSD, but was just told by the crisis team to seek private councelling, however the private councellor said they don't deal with PTSD, need specialist Pyschotherapy.
Its weeks and weeks just to see a psychiatrist and then a long waiting list for therapy.
A couple of phone calls and starting seeing a private therapist almost instantly.
But I feel that my carees are missing out, the NHS can refer and provide multi disciplinary teams to deal with the whole issues-holistic approach.
Would it not make sense for the private therapists to work in conjunction with the NHS, share notes, correspond and communicate with other NHS professionals.
Often it isn't just mental health that is causing issues.
